That kit will do one side Jim so you'll need two kits, one for the left, the other for the right.
Jack up, support the car and remove the wheel from the side you're working on. Loosen the bolt in the front of the tie rod from the lower control arm to the chassis.
Loosen the bolt in the chassis at the rear of the tie bar. Now remove the bolt from the front end of it, remove the bolt and nut from the bush at the rear and pull (or lever) the rear end out of the chassis.
Pull off the front cup washer and bush, noting orientation. Pull the tie rod out of the control arm, remove the bush and washer, again noting orientation.
With a rotary wire brush in a drill, clean up the surfaces in the control arm where the bushes sit.
Slide the new rear washer and bush onto the tie rod, refit loosely in the control arm, slide the front bush and washer on and loosely fit the new bolt and washer.
Refit the rear end of the tie bar to the chassis with the nut and bolt but don't tighten it fully yet. Hand tighten the bolt in the front.
Refit the wheel and remove the jack etc. Bounce the corner of the car to settle the bushes then crawl under and tighten the rear bush. Turn the steering to full lock and remove the front bolt, apply some Threadlock to the thread, refit and tighten.
Torque settings
Rear bush bolt
M12 (19mm heads on bolt and nut) 85Nm or 63lb/ft
M14 (22mm heads) 140Nm or 103lb/ft
Front tie bar to control arm bolt 95Nm or 70lb/ft.
While you're under there, check the lower balljoint for wear as well.
